20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 24 Biaozi
Xiaowei watched Li Zhongguo operate with his mouth open, feeling miraculous.Electricity meters in rural areas are all on roadside poles, or there are no meters at all. They just collect some money on a monthly basis.

Before the 90s, the electric meters of urban residences were installed indoors, one for each household.Later, because there were too many people stealing electricity, the meters were moved outside and locked up. Later, when the community was built, the meters were directly installed outdoors, which was also convenient for meter reading.

Xiaohong also stood by and watched, and suddenly asked: "Uncle, there is a watch for water, can that be stolen?"

Li Zhongguo turned his head to look at the bathroom, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that simple, and it can be stolen, but it's troublesome to do. You have to take the watch down and put it upside down, and wait half a month before taking it down and putting it back on. Exactly, the number of watches will be less, but if you are not careful, you will pour too much of the stuff, and then you will have to make trouble, so don’t do it. There is not much money.”

Xiaohong nodded, a bit regretfully.

Xiaowei said: "It's okay, I'll work harder to earn more, we can afford it."

Xiaohong gave him a white look, and said, "Go to work, arrange the clothes."

Li Zhongguo said: "Let's go, it's getting dark, go out to eat, go buy vegetables tomorrow and come back to cook, the vegetable market should be nearby, Xiaowei, you can look for it tomorrow."

Xiaowei agreed.

The four of them went downstairs and drove to dinner.

……

After dinner, he sat on the armchair in the dining room drinking water and chatting. Li Zhongguo said, "Xiaowei, have you decided to learn to be a chef?"

Xiaowei looked at Xiaohong and said, "Well, I think I can do well. I just don't know where to go to school. I'll ask tomorrow."

Li Zhonghua threw a newspaper in his hand to Xiaowei, and said: "There are advertisements on it. There is a chef class in the Cultural Palace, and it's not far from here. I really want to learn it tomorrow. It's a little closer to the station. careful."

Xiaowei took the newspaper, and Li Zhongguo pointed to the newspaper and said, "That's it, Fengtian City Cultural Palace, have you read it? Just go and sign up."

Xiaowei looked at the advertisement, carefully folded up the newspaper and put it in his pocket, and said: "Then I will sign up tomorrow, no, when Xiaohong's school starts, I will ask Chen Hui to help me get a bicycle tomorrow, and I will ride back and forth Go to class, come back at night to buy groceries."

Li Zhongguo nodded, lit a cigarette, and said, "Okay, have a good time with the locals. When people ask outside, you just say this, don't say whose house it is. Slowly, you are also a local." , Do you understand? Let’s just say that my hometown is Beixi. I’ve been here for a few years. Don’t ask me about the family situation. Afraid to owe favors, favors are for Gaha? They are used to do business, and if you can make a fool of yourself, everything is worth it."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Well, I remember, don't worry, Uncle."

Li Zhongguo said: "Lao Wang and I are comrades-in-arms who are closer than brothers. We also support each other in the county. No one should underestimate these people. It's a bit far away here. What's the matter?" It's too late for us, so we have to rely on our comrades-in-arms and friends here, so you have to save face, don't let people help you, it's useless, then this relationship will become dirty little by little. Understand? You are doing well, People are also willing to help, and the relationship will get better and better. You have to live up to it."

Xiaohong clenched her fists and said, "Brother Xiaowei will definitely be able to do it, don't worry, Uncle Li, and let him make something delicious for you to drink."

Li Zhongguo laughed and said, "Okay, uncle is waiting for that day, and then I will enjoy the blessings with you."

Xiaowei said: "I'm sure I can learn well. After I'm done, find a place to go to work and practice, and then find a way to do it when I can do it. It says I'm recommending a job, and I can do it."

Xiaohong pursed her lips and looked at Xiaowei's confident look, her face was pink.

On the 10th, Xiaowei's third day in Fengtian.

Early on, Li Zhongguo and his driver Xiao He went back to the small city. This time, they made this trip specially for Xiao Hong's affairs, so they didn't want to stay longer.

Today, the Northeast Institute of Technology opens.

After seeing off Li Zhongguo and the other two, Xiaohong began to tidy herself up. On the first day of college, the little girl was a little excited.

Xiaowei sat on the armchair and watched Xiaohong toss quietly, changing clothes for a while, playing with her hair for a while, and always had to cooperate with her to express her opinions, although his opinions didn't help at all.

Finally, it was 08:30, Xiaowei looked at his watch, and said quietly: "Xiaohong, it's 08:30."

Xiaohong froze for a moment, then screamed and threw down the clothes in her hand, grabbed her schoolbag and ran out, saying: "It's too late, it's too late, I'm going to die, Brother Guizi, clean it up, I'll eat in the cafeteria at noon, you can do it yourself. "Boom" the door closed, Xiaowei walked to the balcony, and within a minute, Xiaohong's figure ran out of the cave, and ran all the way to the outside.

From here to the north gate of the Institute of Technology, you can't go straight. You have to go around the main gate of Nanhu Park. The straight line is only more than [-] meters, and the detour is two kilometers.

Xiaohong left, Xiaowei cleaned up Xiaohong's messy house, tidied up her things and clothes, then locked the door and went downstairs. Today he is going to buy two bicycles and visit the Cultural Palace .

After going downstairs and out of the building, he heard a series of hurried footsteps in the corridor behind, and then Chen Hui rushed out from the door, saw him waving his hand, and said, "It's so early, I won't tell you, I'm going to be late."

Xiaowei smiled, but Chen Hui rushed out more than ten meters and fell back, saying, "Zhang Wei, why are you going?"

Xiaowei said, "I want to buy a bicycle."

Chen Hui asked: "Buy new ones or old ones? Buy old ones, they're the same, and they're cheaper. Come here, come here." He beckoned Xiaowei to follow him, and the two turned a few turns along the road in the community. Downstairs, there was a repair shop. Chen Hui walked over and shouted, "Biaozi, Biaozi. Are you at home?"

Someone in the room agreed, and a simple-minded young man poked his head out from inside and asked, "Xiaohui, haha?"

Chen Hui pointed to Xiaowei and said, "My buddy wants to buy a car. I'll get you a car. I'm off to work. I'll come to you after work. Xiaowei, Biaozi is a buddy. You can buy it from him. I'll go." Alright." He trotted all the way to work.

Biaozi looked at Xiaowei and said, "Is it new here? I haven't seen it before. What do you want? Come in and have a look."

Xiaowei walked into the house, followed Biaozi into the large room, and saw a dozen or so bicycles neatly arranged inside. There were 26 and 28 heavier bikes, and they were all wiped clean.

Xiaowei looked around and said, "I want to buy two, one for women and one for weight, which one do you want?"

Biaozi looked around, pointed to a small pink wheel and said, "Ladies should use this one. It's light and not tiring. You can choose the heavier one yourself. I have permanent golden deer, whatever you want. Just push one, and the tires are all new.”

Xiaowei looked at it and said, "Okay, we are all buddies, I believe you. How much is it?"

　Set to change.Ask for collection recommendations.
